I am very new to native artifacts so my knowledge base is pretty low. I do have an idea of what this may be but I’d like some informed opinions from folks in the know on this type of stuff.
Found in a farm field in Southern Iowa/Northern Missouri. Sandstone/Soapstone.
Appears to have been worked or shaped. It has one very obvious cylindrical groove area and a second less obvious on an edge. Gouge marks could be plow strikes but they seem more purposeful/decorative looking than accidental.
If anyone can give me their opinion or inform me as to what this might be I would greatly appreciate it!
